Crooked Tree Arts Center Offers Youth Arts Scholarship

Crooked Tree Arts Center is now accepting applications for their annual Youth Arts Scholarship. CTAC is offering up to four $1,000 scholarships for graduating high school seniors who are Michigan residents, attending school in Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska or Leelanau counties, and pursuing fields of study in the arts. Fields of study include visual arts, performing arts, theatre, dance, and music. Recipients will be selected on merit, not county, by the CTAC Scholarship Selection Committee.

Crooked Tree Arts Center focuses on youth arts education through the CTAC School of Ballet, CTAC Jazz and Rock Band programs, Annual Youth Arts Festival, Youth Arts Show, Young Writers Exposition, School Docent Tours, and a wide variety of classes and workshops throughout the year. Thousands of area students are engaged in the arts through their experiences with the Arts Center and this scholarship opportunity will foster a student’s next level of arts education.

The deadline for consideration is April 15, 2021. Please visit crookedtree.org to print off an application. Once completed, deliver the application to your high school guidance office. You may also mail your application directly to CTAC with a postmark date of April 15, 2021:
